Mac Security Software

I like Intego more than Mcafee on the Mac side. I’m running a triple boot MacPro and a MacBook Pro. Since I’m a staff member/student I purchased a couple licenses from a company called CreationEngine. It was half the price of the retail version of Internet Security Barrier X5 Personal Antispam Edition DP. The software comes with a license for BitDefender Internet Security 2008 for Windows and a link to a 32 bit download of the software.
I’m not crazy about running 32 bit software with a 64 bit OS. So I downloaded a trial version of the Bitdefender from Bitdefenders website, which has 64 bit drivers, and plugged in the serial #. Hey it worked! I didn’t see anything in the license agreement preventing this, so it seems kosher.
I contacted Bitdefender support and asked if I could run the same serial # for two Windows partitions on the same hardware/PC. Amazingly they said it was Ok. Woo hoo!

In case you don’t recall, Safari doesn’t have much in the line of antiphishing technology. That’s why I purchased the software.
